We were there on Friday night and my kid could not get enough of the spicy lamb. If you don’t eat the chiles, it’s not spicy at all, just has a touch ma la from the sichuan peppercorns. He practically finished the whole thing himself. So, if you don’t like spicy, don’t be put off by the name. It’s very flavorful and addicting.
I still favor the butter and honey. The mafaldine was incredible, but after 6 bings, it was too much. Didn’t stop me from finishing it and then moaning and groaning about how full I was. I am definitely going to need some more mental and physical training to reach FTC-master status!
Anyway, like ladies do we each came bearing gifts - delicious wines and a gift from the heart.
I’m not sure what all is going on with these. But they were perfectly fluffy, creamy on the inside, deep fried (probably in animal fat) crispy, crisp on the outside and a delicious sprinkle of salt (I think PB said chicken salt?). They’re perfect on their own, but the cheese sauce (raclette?) sends them to heaven. They weren’t offered alc, but I think our waiter started fearing for his safety, so…
This has such complex, but subtle layers of goodness. We even discovered these whole garlic cloves that had been pickled in a way that they only had a faint almost non-existent garlic flavor, but weren’t over-powered by the pickling. 
But we loved Kakigori all the same.
